It's good that your trying to be different on your site, but it's not working. I am guessing you have all your text in/on graphics so you can have different fonts, but it's quite difficult to read if you can read it, much is bulry or covered over by other images. Hard to explain, but I did'nt want to read it, probably because it was not to clear or because it was over an number of different images. The collage can be a cool idea, but does'nt work here, just looks on the crappy side, probably because the images seem to be too burry or too compressed. To me the text, which is a big part of your selling, should be very crisp and clear. Also the graphics should be very clear. I get an idea where you were trying to go, but dont think it's working in this case. Plus if the images on the tour look bad, what will the surfer think the inside content looks like?

Also since you have all your text in graphic format, your increasing the load time for the surfer, many surfers are still on dial-up. They could be leaving because it takes a while to load.

The join page looks terrible, the images are blurry, stretched and the text is squeezed into a small space on the sides. The join page is one of your last chances to sell the surfer, gotta make it good.

As for the selling, I see you pushing mainly ifriends, nothing wrong with that, but more surfers are being pushed there, it's no wonder your not making many sales for your own site. The biggest reason your not making sales for your own stuff is because your using tickets club, you need a real merchant account, gotta pony up the $750 visa fee, other wise your just wasting your time.

I hear what you're saying, the intro page is mainly for a promo and apparently that isn't working too well anyway. Probably better to start out with the tour rather than having them click a link to get to it. I haven't seen many leaving my page for iFriends on the exit pages of my stats, or else I would change that. However I am phasing out a few of those links, and the fanclub promotion in favor of free live shows offered to my members. Thanks for your honesty, I'll work on my join page & re-evaluate the ifriends promos.

To anyone:
Re: merchant accounts-- I looked into ccbill but as a canadian company that is a no go unless we form an american corporation. does anyone know of a good option to get a canadian merchant account?
What is wrong with ticketsclub, I've read some negative feedback about verotel but I've also read negatives about ccbill...?

Another point--the focus of the site is on video and many of the images are video stills. I guess I should only use hi res pics in the promo areas and specify that the other ones are vid stills, and put up more free promo video clips in the tour. Thanks for the tips, I know what I'll be working on for a while now! I'll save the promotion until after I do a bit of re-designing.
